You've probably heard of "The Pentagon Papers" and "Wikileaks"..And virtually everyone has heard of Edward Snowden; Possibly the most famous whistleblower in history.. But 12 years before Snowden was born... way back in 1971, a group of 8 people pulled off a bold heist.. Much like Snowden, they had one goal in mind.. Not money or recognition.. Exposing government funded control and corruption..
However, unlike Edward Snowden, they got away with it... for 43 years the group kept their secret.. Finally in 2014, several members of the group decided to talk..
